In the breathtaking landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, “Nature Boy” unfolds the poignant journey of sixteen-year-old Liam Carter, a troubled teen grappling with the recent loss of his mother. Struggling with grief and feeling lost in a world that seems to have no place for him, Liam decides to escape the confines of his suburban life for an adventurous journey into the wilderness. He yearns to connect with the essence of his mother’s spirit, who was an avid nature lover and conservationist.

As Liam ventures deeper into the forest, he encounters an enigmatic figure known as Rowan, a rugged, free-spirited environmentalist living off the grid and deeply in tune with the rhythms of nature.
